It’s been a gradual transition that wasn’t always even apparent to me, but I can definitively say now that my work will be focused more on my YouTube channel than this website. (Though a redesign is on its way that will integrate the two a bit more anyway.)

Of course, all the songs here will stay up for your enjoyment – some might even be made into videos in the near future. :) I will also continue to do commissions.

Thank you all for your support and encouragement over the years. Things are getting bigger and better and I hope you’ll stay on this magic carpet ride with me forever!

Ever since writing WE ARE THE ROBOT PIRATES I’ve been asked by many of you to write a song about their opposite: Zombie Ninjas. The journey has been four YouTube videos long and here it is finally!!

I would like a song dedicated to my wife, Maddison. We are just Friends, but we love each other so we got married on Face Book. We are both girls.

The first verse should have these points:
-When we die she’s going to be a vampire and I’m going to be a werewolf.
-Logically, I have to wait at the oceans edge because wolves can’t swim, and even if I was in my human form I still can’t swim anyway.
-I can get past her bleach smell and she can get past my wet-dog smell.

In the second verse have these points:
Loveness Overload!
Got married on Face Book
Maddison likes Giraffes
And we both have zebra finches, hers are named Archibald and Alyssa, mine are Maddison Ashleigh and Susan Keithandra.

At the end of the song I would like to have
-I love you so much.
-You’re all I’ve got right now.
-keep breathing my love.
and for the end- If you die, I want to die with you.

I would like the structure to be
Verse 1.
Chorus
Verse 2.
Chorus X2
Guitar solo
A Capella verse

I want the song to sound kind of like this

I want it to be called You Be The Vampire And I’ll Be The Werewolf.

I need a theme-song for a free flash-video game that will be used to advertise my upcoming novel. My book is about the Traveling Tyrant, a space merceanry who flits about the galaxy doing bad things for a price.

I thought Big Pimpn by Jay-Z had a nice tune to it, and I think the quasi white guy rapping approach would lead to the humor.

Mordid the Traveling Tyrant
The Traveling Tyrant is the ‘brand’ behind a space mercenary organization which Mordid leads as the ‘Tyrant’. Ladies man, so he thinks. On Fridays he doesn’t wear pants because it’s casual fridays at the ‘office’. He’s acidic with his tongue and brave for a price. He accidently invaded a planet filled with interpretive dancers, but offered them a discount on his services as an apology. He’s not the first Traveling Tyrant but aims to be the last and only. He’s mercenary ‘scum’ from a system of worlds that are lawless. Cover of book shows him and is found at worksofrichardmarsden.com Sayings: “Onwards, in the name of me!” and “For profit and fun!”.

Eryn of PR
The dark haired, leggy female beauty of the Tyrant’s brand. She films him and sets up propaganda pieces but also doubles as his chief interrogator and torturer. She giggles as she cuts people. She’s a bit OCD and likes to keep clean and is all smiles, but her best friend is a sharp knife and a camera lens.

General Thrask
A big burly man with a flat-top and too many scars. He’s the Tyrant’s general and bullies his way around. He’s good at killing people and organizing troops. He wants to be the Tyrant but lacks the skill to pull it off. Most his plans backfire.

Diplomat Mauss
The oldest member in the command staff, he’s a skeletal looking man whose made and broken Tyrants. He’s the man who finds Mordid work, mentors him, and occasionally threatens him.

Jenkins
A low-ranking soldier who takes every opportunity to move his way up the Tyrant’s corporate ladder. He’s young and bold but often gets in way over his head. His team-mate is a should-be-retired soldier by the name of Karlson who moans and groans but tags along regardless as the two seek their fortunes.

I’m an artist currently developing a webcomic. It’s about a girl, a boy, and another girl who just so happens to be possessing the first girl. I like to listen to music while I draw, but I can never seem to find the right song to set the mood now that I’m designing scenes.

On that basis I’d love it if you could compose me a theme song of sorts. Something to get me in the right mindset for drawing.

I’d prefer just an instrumental song, please. Maybe some violins, cellos and pianos, or even some lesser known instrument to give the song a characteristic sound?

If it helps, the song that seems to epitomise what I’m after is “Discombobulate” by Hans Zimmer, from the Sherlock Holmes soundtrack. Simple, brand-setting underlying tune, but otherwise dramatic, epic and ever so slightly disconcerting, giving the sense something is amiss.

I just want to hear you do your own version a song that’s usually sung by a woman… I don’t care the genre or the woman…
